STEP ONE: UNDERSTAND YOUR DOMINANT THEMES AS A MANAGER
➤ Dig into all the resources you can find to help you understand your Top 5 CliftonStrengths themes
➤ Reflect on your usual behaviour, habits, and past experiences
➤ Key Question: can you connect your StrengthsFinder talent themes to your past experiences, patterns of thought, decision-making processes, or habits? Try doing this for each of your Top 5 CliftonStrengths themes.

STEP TWO: OWN YOUR DOMINANT THEMES AS A MANAGER
➤ Ownership comes when we start to accept and view our StrengthsFinder lenses in a positive way. Ownership drives us to action.
➤ If we dislike our StrengthsFinder themes or are skeptical about them, we won’t be able to aim them toward specific goals we have in our work and personal lives.
➤ Key Question: Can you link your dominant talent themes to an ‘identity’ you can assume at work? How does assuming this identity help build greater ownership in your role as a manager?

STEP THREE: AIM YOUR DOMINANT THEMES AS A MANAGER
➤ Understand the negative impact that our strengths can have on our team members at work.
➤ Connect our StrengthsFinder themes with specific, actionable goals tied to broader work outcomes.
➤ Key Questions:
➤ In which areas do you tend to impose your thoughts and decisions on your team?
➤ How do your themes tend to manifest in times of stress?
➤ What is your natural leadership style, and how does this relate to your strengths?

STEP THREE: AIM YOUR DOMINANT THEMES AS A MANAGER
➤ Using the SMART goal framework, can you set a goal for each of your strengths?
➤ For example:
➤ Activator: Connect with 50 new organisations within a year and convert 20% of them into clients
➤ Communication: Share with and influence 2,000 people in Asia to do the StrengthsFinder profiling assessment through Strengths School within a year
➤ Strategic: Get recurring business from 80% of our existing clients within a year
